Summer Fashion Trends by A.L.C.

Andrea Lieberman, the creative mind behind A.L.C., is known for her love of tailoring. However, when it comes to summer fashion, she faces the challenge of creating pieces that are light and airy, perfect for the warm California weather where she finds much of her inspiration. Despite this challenge, Lieberman embraces the opportunity to design for the summer months, recognizing the desire for women to feel feminine and emotional during this time.

For the pre-fall 2026 season, A.L.C. has taken on a new direction with a focus on “lighthearted, fun, feminine” pieces. Standout pieces from the collection include a black halter dress with a gathered waist adorned with a bold floral print in vibrant shades of red, yellow, blue, and orange. This departure from traditional pastel florals offers a fresh and modern take on summer dressing. Even simple pieces like a white cotton poplin dress are elevated with diagonal seams, adding a touch of intrigue to the classic silhouette.

When it comes to pants, A.L.C. offers a variety of options suitable for the high summer season. From high-waisted ecru linen trousers that can transition seamlessly from the office to a holiday, to playful striped tie-back halter tops paired with matching pull-on pants, the collection caters to women who value both style and versatility. As Lieberman aptly puts it, “Our woman is hardworking, and she takes her time off very seriously.”

With a focus on lightness and femininity, A.L.C.’s summer collection embodies the spirit of the season while staying true to the brand’s signature tailoring and attention to detail. Whether you’re looking for the perfect outfit for a summer wedding or a chic vacation ensemble, A.L.C. has you covered with pieces that are both stylish and practical.
